In memory of the 1921 Tulsa, Oklahoma, Massacre that occurred May 31 – June 1.
To protect their dominance, white mobs attacked, killed, and burned prominent Black businessmen and businesses from Greenwood Avenue – a thriving business district known as Black Wall Street.
It left approximately 300 dead and 10,000 homeless. No one was held accountable and no mention of the terrorizing and destruction of the community. On the 100th anniversary, 1 June 2021, excavation begins in Tulsa to locate the mass graves to restore freedom, justice and hope to all the lost souls.

The death has been announced of pioneering Czech curator Ivan Bradkova.
It was thanks to her spatial imagination and willingness to attempt non-traditional solutions that Ivana Brádková could join forces with theorist Terezie Zemánková.
The curator couple prepared a series of probably the most generous and best-attended exhibitions of art brut in Prague: “Art brut: the abcd Collection” (2006), “Prinzhorn Collection” (2009), “Adolf Wölfli – The Creator of the universe” (2012), and “Art Brut Live: the abcd Collection” (2015).
The list of well-selected and creatively installed exhibitions could go on, especially those at Montanelli Museum and at the Dox Gallery – the collection of art brut outsiders of Pavel Konečný (2012), Japanese art brut (2013), Luboš Plný’s profile (2017), etc.
